Every once in a while comes a new disruptive technology that
changes everything. VR has stalled, the headsets are not bringing
VR to the masses as promised. Step forward Omegavision which is VR
without the headset, and so much more. (Check out the video demo
here (https://vimeo.com/249480853)
Omegavision is essentially a VR system that allows you to work
within the environment sitting at your desktop or standing. A
system that will deliver immersive photography, CGI, and an
immersive windows environment all on the same platform.
Omegavision consists of 3 currently issued patents and 3 patents
that are in the USPTO system soon to be issued.Vention, a company
based in Portland Oregon, is selling the intellectual property to
Omegavision. The intellectual property consists of:
- An immersive lens design, the Omegavision lens that captures a field of view of 360 degrees horizontally by 240 degrees vertically. (Patents issued)
- An immersive screen, the Omegavision screen that immerses the viewer in a field of view of 360 degrees horizontally by 240 degrees vertically, where the viewer is actually within the display screen. (Patent Issued)
- Algorithms that plot 3 dimensional (X, Y, Z) Cartesian coordinates to the Omegavision screen.
I invited CEO Frank Harris onto the show to learn more about how the folks at Vention believe that they possess the patent rights to the future of VR
